A bill before the Connecticut General Assembly would expand daycare subsidies by covering teen mothers regardless of their parents’ income and subsidizing care for up to 12 weeks of unpaid maternity leave or six months of unemployment.
CTNewsJunkie reported on the public hearing earlier this week.
Perhaps Dan’l Malloy will issue another executive order that paves the way to unionizing Teen moms and people on maternity leave who take advantage of the subsidies. The state could deduct the dues from those funds before issuing them to the new parent. … hell- he could also by mayoral style edict unionize everyone receiving a refund of their income taxes and deduct the dues from those checks as well… and if the refund isn’t enough to cover the dues then the person could have the remainder withheld from their next paycheck. Surely there’s a pending need with some obscure national public sector union whose willing to grease the wheels on his re-election campaign and good ol’ Dan’t has shown that he isn’t going to let some pesky laws and a state constitution get in the way when he holds the interest of political insider union organizations as more important than the best interests of his citizens and the rule of law… though I’m left to wonder whether mixing unionization with neonatal maternity could result in a dispute that has people picketing uteri?
